I was hoping for a bit more of a conflict as far as Mac Dara was concerned. Maybe not an all out war but...just something more. But overall, it was a good story with an ending where everything was wrapped up very happily and neatly. I'm sad that according to the author's FAQ, there won't be more tales from Sevenwaters, because I grew very fond of the place and its inhabitants. But it was also a good ending, so maybe best to leave it this way after all.
